The Music Tapes Present "The Traveling Imaginary"

When: Mon., Jan. 28, 8-9:30 p.m. 2013
Price: $12

The last time I saw The Music Tapes, Julian Koster and his psychedelic cohorts from Georgia played at Tir na nOg, the large Raleigh restaurant and rock club. As diners ate on the far side of the Irish pub, Koster invited attendees to sit with him on the floor while he shared stories, played his singing saw and generally cavorted with the crowd. Really, the room never allowed for full immersion in the fantasy. To prevent such problematic settings, the band is touring with a massive tent that they will erect in each venue and then fill with their typical mix of mirth, mystery and music. Just imagine a fireless campfire scene gone gloriously strange, and you'll be in the tent, too. —Grayson Currin
